BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Discussion

The board of directors of a nonprofit organization is ultimately responsible for the organization. Each director has a legal duty and responsibility to assure that the organization is run well and in compliance with all federal, state and local requirements. Prior to service on a nonprofit board, each new member of the board should become aware of these duties and responsibilities as well as their potential personal liability. Best practices suggest that boards continually review and assess their level of knowledge and undergo regular governance training.
